I’ve been a little frustrated this week with my new PC… the one I put together last Saturday. I still don’t have a complete operating system on it. I’m trying to use the 64-bit version of Gentoo, and I keep running into problems. I botched the first install attempt by forgetting to run mkfs on the boot directory. The install procedure put files over the old vfat formatting, but then I couldn’t read/write to it, so after going all the way through the install to the point where I needed to reboot, I was a little frustrated. Then on Monday I tried a fresh start, and somehow now there are problems with the latest Portage snapshot for amd64 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82027). Thanks to the help of the nice folks in #gentoo-amd64, I was able to get a working snapshot tonight and get through the bootstrap.
